Neurospora crassa • Neurospora crassa is a haploid organism • In N. crassa the four products of meiosis remain together in groups of four called tetrads and reflect the order of the genes • Each meiocyte produces a linear array of eight ascospores (an octad) 1 M I pattern Chiasmata M II pattern • Chiasmata are the visible manifestations of crossovers • Where do chiasmata occur? • A crossover is the breakage of two DNA molecules at the same position and their rejoining in two reciprocal nonparental combinations 2 Four M II patterns M II frequency • The frequency of octads with an M II pattern is proportional to the distance between the locus and the centromere • M II frequency: the frequency of meioses with a crossover A A A A a a a a 126 Octads a A a A a A a A a a A a a a A a A A a a A A a a A a A A A a A A 132 9 11 10 Total = 300 a a A A A A a a 12 Recombinant frequency • 42 / 300 = 0.14*100 = • M II frequency: the 14% frequency of meioses with a crossover • A crossover in any meiosis results in only • Therefore 14 / 2 = 7% 50% recombinant chromatids (4 out of 8) Recombinant frequency = M II frequency ⁄ 2 3 Two crossovers • ABCxabc –ABc –AbC –aBC –abc • Which chromatids participated in the crossovers? Position of crossovers • Two crossovers involving three chromatids Two crossovers • ABCxabc –ABc –Abc –aBC –abC • Which chromatids participated in the crossovers? 4 Position of crossovers • Two crossovers involving four chromatids • ABCxabc – – – – ABc Abc aBC abC Linkage maps • T.H. Morgan first noticed that distances between genes related to the frequency of crossing over • Alfred H. Sturtevant (an undergraduate student in T.H. Morgan’s lab) calculated the first genetic map and suggested that recombination frequency be used as a measure of the distance between 2 linked genes. Map units • One genetic map unit (m.u.) is the distance between gene pairs for which one product of meiosis is 100% recombinant. So 1 m.u. is a recombinant frequency (RF) of 0.01 ie 1% • RF = 0.01 = 1 m.u. • A centiMorgan cM = 1 m.u. • For two genes 11 m.u. apart how many recombinants would you expect from 2839 progeny – Recombinant frequency of 11% = x ⁄ 2839 – therefore x = 305 recombinants 5 How to make linkage maps Three-point test cross • Check the deviation from independent assortment • Note the parental input genotypes • Calculate the recombinant frequency (RF) for each pair of loci i.e. two at a time • Draw the map having determined the gene order • Calculate the interference and coefficient of coincidence • You are a student in a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) lab and you want to know whether three loci are linked • Mutant alleles – Vermillion eyes v – Crossveinless cv – Cut wing edges ct • Wild type alleles + Linkage map Three-point test cross • You cross crossveinless, cut winged flies to vermillion eyed flies (wildtype at other loci) – P: – F1 : +/+ cv/cv ct/ct X v/v +/+ +/+ +/v cv/+ ct/+ • Then you testcross female trihybrids with tester males: v/+ cv/+ ct/+ ♀ X v/v cv/cv ct/ct ♂ • How many genotypes do you expect ? • 2n = 8 • Which are the parental genotypes for the trihybrid? – + cv ct – v++ • Calculate the recombinant frequency • RF=284/1148 *100= 19.6% • < 50% implies linkage Gametes v++ + cv ct v cv + + + ct v cv ct +++ v + ct + cv + 580 592 45 40 89 94 3 5 1448 Type P P P R R R R R R 6 RF for each pair of loci: v & cv • For v and cv: • Since the parents are v + and + cv • Recombinants (R) are those that are v cv and + + • So the RF = • 45+40+89+94 / 1448= 268/1448= 18.5 % Recombinant Gametes v & cv v++ 580 + cv ct 592 v cv + 45 R + + ct 40 R v cv ct 89 R +++ 94 R v + ct 3 + cv + 5 1448 268 RF for each pair of loci: v & ct • For v and ct • Since the parents are + ct and v + • The recombinants are those that are v ct and + + • So the RF for v and ct is • 89+94+3+5=191 / 1448 = 13.2% • 45+40+3+5=93 / 1448 = 6.4% Gametes v++ + cv ct v cv + + + ct v cv ct +++ v + ct + cv + Recombinant cv ct 580 592 45 R 40 R 89 94 3 R 5 R 1448 Recombinant v ct 580 592 45 40 89 R 94 R 3 R 5 R 1448 191 Draw the map RF for each pair of loci: cv ct • For cv and ct: • Since the parents are cv ct and + + • Recombinants (R) are those that are cv + and + ct • So the RF for cv & ct Gametes v++ + cv ct v cv + + + ct v cv ct +++ v + ct + cv + Recombinant Gametes v cv v++ 580 + cv ct 592 v ct v cv + 45 R + + ct 40 R v cv ct 89 R R +++ 94 R R cv ct R R v + ct 3 R R + cv + 5 R R 13.2 6.4 1448 18.5 v 13.2 m.u. ct 6.4 m.u. cv 13.2 + 6.4 = 19.6 which is > 18.5 ! Calculate the recombinant frequency RF= (45+40+89+94+3+5) /1448 = 284/1148 = 0.196*100= 19.6% 7 Cross: v/+ ct/+ cv/+ ♀ X v/v ct/ct cv/cv ♂ Double crossovers should have been counted twice Interference • Interference (I): a measure of the independence of each crossover from the other • Coefficient of coincidence (c.o.c): {observed frequency or number of double recombinants} divided by {expected frequency or number of double recombinants} • I = 1- c.o.c I=1- Observed frequency or number of double recombinants Expected frequency or number of double recombinants Calculate Interference Recombinant Gametes v cv v++ 580 + cv ct 592 v ct v cv + 45 R + + ct 40 R v cv ct 89 R R +++ 94 R R cv ct R R Observed frequency of doubles =8 v + ct 3 R R + cv + 5 R R 13.2 6.4 1448 18.5 Observed frequency or number of double I = 1- recombinants Expected frequency or number of double recombinants Expected frequency of doubles = (0.132* 0.064)1448 = 0.0084 * 1448 = 12 c.o.c = 8 ⁄ {(0.132 *0.064) 1448 = 12} I = 1- 8 ⁄ 12 I = 12 ⁄ 12 - 8 ⁄ 12 = 4 ⁄ 12 I =⅓ 8 Mapping function • Mapping function: a function that relates the recombinant frequency with the mean number of crossovers in a segment per meiosis • RF= ½ (1- e –m ) • Where m = average number of crossovers in that chromosome region • The frequency of crossovers can be converted to the “corrected” RF by dividing by 2: • • • • So for RF= 19.6% = 0.196= ½ (1- e –m ) e –m = 1-(2 * 0.196)=0.61 m = ln(.608)=0.498 • Corrected RF = m ⁄ 2 • = 0.498 ⁄ 2 = 0.249 map units – Corrected RF= m ⁄ 2 9 Tetrad analysis • So for fungi count the number of asci that are T type and the number of asci that are NPD type and use – RF= ½ T + NPD • E.g. If you counted 100 T type asci and 2 NPD type asci then RF= ? • RF= ½ (100) + 2 = 5.2% or 5.2 m.u.
